Qatar F1 GP unlikely, says Bernie Ecclestone

Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone has revealed the presence of Bahrain and Abu Dhabi on the sport's circuit means Qatar is unlikely to stage a grand prix in the future.

Qatar is ploughing billions of pounds into sporting events and controversially won the right to host the 2022 World Cup, while the energy-rich Gulf state was also recently awarded the 2019 World Athletics Championships.
